Bob Harper has a new sidekick who’d make a great addition to his fitness DVDs or help cheer on the contestants on his team on The Biggest Loser.

The dog is a  rescue animal from Animal Advocates Alliance, according to the LA Times.

At first Harper was reluctant to take in “Karl,” given his busy schedule, but after one encounter with the black and white pup, there was no turning back. Harper used the opportunity to voice his support for animal shelters and warn against going to a mill.

Angus Alan Douglas Douglas-Hamilton

Scotland’s 15th Duke, Angus Alan Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, has died after a long battle with dementia, at the age of 71.

According to the Daily Express, The Duke of Hamilton was an animal rights activist who divided much of his time between campaigns and racing cars.

He once boycotted Edinburg’s Jenner stores because they refused to stop selling foie gras and enlisted the help of an ex-SAS officer to rescue bull terrier puppies from a dog fighting gang.

He even encountered a little bit of resistance from law enforcement, as he was questioned for his involvement with the liberation of a dog that was condemned to die under the Dangerous Dogs Act, a piece of legislation created as a response to attacks on people by dogs deemed aggressive or dangerous.

Jillian Michaels has given USA Today readers some advice on eating healthy on the go.

“Order the vegan meal on the plane because it’s usually cleaner than all the other foods. Bring snacks with you when you’re on the road — things you can grab and go — whether it’s a healthy protein bar or dry-roasted nuts.”

Most major airlines, like Continental, United and American offer vegetarian and vegan meals for passengers, but it’s always best to contact the company in advance. In fact, American Airlines suggests you order at least 24 hours ahead of your flight for their items like penne pasta with artichokes or triple pepper bean medley.

A new soy product has been created that is touted to be closer to the texture of real chicken than its predecessors.

Developed by University of Missouri scientists, the product is said to not only taste like chicken, but looks like it and tears apart in your mouth like the real bird.

The University must still sell the technology to a food company, so it may be awhile before the almost real deal made of soy, wheat gluten, oil and water makes it to a grocery store near you

Ozzy Osbourne has a disgusting history with animals (biting off doves’ and bats’ heads, throwing meat at the crowd) during his performance history, but thanks to a little movie called Food Inc., these days he’s more into biting the heads of lettuce. Not that he’s doing this for animal rights reasons, which you’ll learn.

The Prince of Darkness told the Times Online he’s mostly vegetarian, and thinks the way meat is raised today is enough to turn people away from eating it.

“It’s my new phase: brown rice and vegetables. I don’t even drink milk, apart from a splash in my tea. It ain’t because of the animals. I mean, I used to work in a slaughterhouse. You won’t see me marching over the frozen tundra, hunting down people who club seals. I just can’t digest meat any more. ”

Zooey Deschanel had a lovely quinoa dish cooked up for her on Top Chef Masters, but the singer and kid sis of Emily Deschanel says she wasn’t a vegan when she ate it, and her multiple food allergies keep her from being one.

From Time Out Chicago:

“Oh, man, that was awesome! Though, a long time before they aired the show, I gave up veganism. I can’t do it. And I’ll tell you why. I have multiple food allergies. That’s kind of why I became a vegan, because I was like, Oh, I’m halfway there. I can’t have eggs or dairy. I can’t have wheat, either. Or soy. It was impossible being vegan.”

No wheat or soy? Can’t imagine a life without tofu or seitan!

A list of alternatives to wheat reveal a popular vegetarian staple, buckwheat noodles, otherwise known as soba noodles, are gluten-free. Then there’s almond milk instead of soy. Unless you have a nut allergy.

Oh, boy, is there hope for wannabe vegans like Zooey?

Daily Muesli anyone?
